Beautiful food on a rainy day

We had the sharing tray with a range of stews which were delicious, really glad we visited here on our trip to London

Lovely Ethiopian in the heart of Brixton Village

Great Ethiopian in Brixton Village, a tad more expensive than other similar places, but worth a visit if you are down there and looking for some vegan grub.

Excellent Vegan Plate!

I had a wonderful vegan combination plate at this small, cozy restaurant. The women running the place are so kind and helpful, and their veggie plate is among the best I have had globally.

The samosas are also very tasty, and I ordered a chai tea which came with sugar to sweeten to taste.

I shall return.

Best Ethiopian food in London

I'm in love with Ethiopian food and tried it in few different places in London but this one is the best of all. More pricey than other places but worth every penny. Injera (fermented teff flour pancake) is more than 0,5-meter diameter and tastes like heaven. The place is really cute, in the heart of Brixton Village Market, full of colours, smells and music. Lovely owners.

Vegan Ethiopian in Brixton

I've had Ethiopian/Eritrean food a few times now and really liked it. The injera base is filling (they import it from Ethiopia) and the food was all tasty. It's in Brixton market and it's good to sit there watching the market in action.

The owner was friendly and there's plenty of choice (all vegan) on the menu.

Definitely worth a visit.

Pros: Tasty food, Good value, Friendly staff
